Your thoughts on the subject?

Video Game is full of insta kills after 2 seconds and the players love it.

RPG gets 1 character killed after he does something incredibly retarded and meltdown mode!
>>
>what is a respawn mechanic
I think you're retarded, and have probably never played a video game.

No one's going to watch your shitty youtube channel, faggot.

You did not have IRL experiences like this?
The players get triggered if the monsters basically have 1 HP and zero attack?
>>
>>96849896
No.

I'm not even clicking on that slop but I guarantee it's some faggot reading stories off of reddit that represent, charitably, less than a thousandth of a percent of games played in the hobby. Cherrypicking a DND HORRY STORY off the internet is like trying to portray the entire experience of videogames with a clip of someone yelling nigger in a Counterstrike lobby.

>entire experience of videogames with a clip of someone yelling nigger in a Counterstrike lobby.
That is literally over 40% of all video games.
>>

fpbp

I would add that there will be differences in expectations based on the media. Ofc no one complains about railroading in a video game, much like how no one complains about graphics in TTRPGs.

>angry nogames made the thread again
You ever get tired of being this pathetic, or do you think you're actually making a real argument?
>>
>>96850152
>the thread again
HUH?
When did this happen before?
>>
>>96850126
>no one complains about railroading in a video game
I do, but I don't really play RPGs and think that stories are the least important part of any vidya.
>>
>>96850228
This faggot has been making different iterations of this same idea that RPG players are whiny and entitled, while [other group] (previously wargamers) were cool and chill and able to casually accept all the things that RPG players bitch about.
>>
>>96850015
>I don't even see why someone would want to waste their time on this medium it is just a guy yelling "Door stuck! Door stuck!" in an absurdist 3D environment reminiscent of 80s action movies, even in the this bastardisation of entertainment they copy superior media like film
I wish we did it like this.
>>
>>96850126
>like how no one complains about graphics in TTRPGs.
How many threads (that have been up for weeks, mind you) are there bitching about that faggy DnD art with the gay beholder?
>>
>>96850904
>RPG players are whiny and entitled
He's correct though
>>
>>96850904
>rpg players are whiny and entitled
they’re the most entitled people on earth. picky, critical, apathetic, narcissistic. Most rpg players have the mind of a consumoid that’s never created anything in their lives. They complain about everything, they’re satisfied with nothing, and they seem to take for granted that someone is writing a game for their enjoyment.
>>
>>96849798
>gamers don`t complain about the game being unfair
they just call it grinding or artificial difficulty
>gamers don`t complain about railroading
they just call it moviegames or walking simulators

I didn't have the picky and whiny players. I did have latino otakus that talk like anime characters in real life and people who flake at the last minute.

Is that fun or is it like one of those things thats neat for like 5 minutes then becomes annoying?

What do you think?

Sometimes you know more than you think!

Most people don't play permadeath video games and most TTRPG games don't have dark souls bomfire respawn mechanics,

Ff14 is literally all of those things and people fucking love it

>no one complains about graphics in TTRPGs
I have been banned from multiple tables for the crime of pointing out my fellow players have some hideous choice in character art.
>>
>>96849798
i think that videogmaes have graphics and so on and the strength of ttrpgs is the lack of built in routs and great scope of what you can try to do
if i have a story and the point is to engage with that plot then a charcter is welcome to retire with the gnomes and if the other players want to bid farewell then sayign goodby can be a session
that character is now a retired npc and the player can make a new one

PCs get more fanfare than npcs
pointless deaths suck so its my job as a gm to avoid dumb rulings like "we were in travel time so you are now at the center of an ambush bruce the warrior is shot to death"

things to keep in mind as a gm
pcs are ignorant and that doesnt make sense
they will typically be the least informed people in the world
in real life i happen to know things i am entirely uninvolved in simply through information osmsosis
most of the poeple in your world probably do too

this is a disadvantage intrinsic to being a player
you probably wont be able to keep the player properly informed

thigns like this means little plot armor is honestly called for
and thats just to reach equalibrium
if the pcs are special they need a fair bit

but player characters can 100% die
if they couldnt itd suck
and if im being real
iv never had a player melt down like that when they die
i have seen a lot of "traditional GMs" make bitch posts about players chimping out
usually followed by stuff about how the ads on tv have mexicans and this is cultural genocide
>>
>>96850904
To be fair, I went nogames for twenty years because everyone in my area played 3rd edition D&D and I kept waiting for a Deadlands or Mekton Zeta campaign run by someone else to fall into my lap.
>>
>>96854732
the subhuman cattle that play "ff"xiv are not people
i've never seen a better argument for concentration camps than that community

thoughts? thoughts? thoughts? SHUT THE FUCK UP NIGGER
>>
>>96852157
why are you here? are you tsundere or something?
>>
>>96849798
lol? video game players pretty much invented calling games unfair. have you ever met one?
>>
>>96856699
Why should the players show up if you've already planned the story in advance? You could replace them with dice bots.
>>
>>96857720
>the subhuman cattle that play "ff"xiv are not people
>i've never seen a better argument for concentration camps than that community
Explain, I am fascinated.
PS: I never have interacted with these people.
>>
>>96854696
>bomfire respawn mechanics,
Why not?

I don’t know why I’m here anymore

Tellem about the billboard. I don't have the image saved.

>why aren't apple and oranges the same?
>>
>>96849798
Lmao, it isn't wrong. But it is not quite the same. Maybe this is bait calling ttprg players faggots on the ttrpg board, but I guess I should tell my thoughts just once. There are big differences between the two mediums.

>you start the videogame any time you want,
>if you just want to play 20 mins you can, if you want to binge the weekend you can
>for a ttrpg session you have to coordinate with everyone else, and put away a slice of your time in advance
>you can't finish early or go on longer than others
>the speed of combat is much better in a video game than what you get on tabletop
>you don't have to watch your teammate do something retarded helplessly for 20 minutes.
>you can restart the game any time you want,
>if you die in tabletop you die with permanence, and the game is not reset either for you try again.
>in tabletop you got so many options you get more sensitive to being railroaded.
>in video game I am glad if I have more than 2 routes to pick from

All these things make ttrpgs less convenient, more rage-prone, and all the worthwhile in their own regard.
